Without knowing more specifics on the bulbs its hard to say. Some "cheap" bulbs are just fine, some aren't, its hard to say. Find out what the specs on the bulbs are and maybe we can answer more accurately for you.

I can however say that I have grown Java Ferns, Java Moss, and hornwort in a bucket with only indirect incandescent light so I think it would probably be ok.
